Tangled Artemis!

Chapter 88

The location is in the Hostess of Fertility tavern,

The business was blooming, and all the seats were filled with customers.

In the seat near the window, a group of girls gathered around a blond boy.

Sirius, who beautiful girls surrounded, became the most conspicuous person in the tavern.

He could feel needle-like gazes coming from envious male customers.

"Blond hair, plus that handsome look…I can't go wrong, he's that Sirius!" A male customer whispered to his friend.

"Huh? You mean that kid?" The friend asked in disbelief.

"Yeap. He set a new record for the fastest promotion in the world, surpassing that of the sword princess by eleven months. And, what's more, he's also from the Loki Familia." The previous guy affirmed.

"I heard that he defeated an irregular monster on the 15th floor all alone…." The guy was amazed by Sirius's feat.

"Isn't it just an irregular monster? What's the fuss about?" The guy's friend was a bit jealous and retorted.

"Hehe, then can you?" The guy looked at his friend contemptuously.

"Ah, no…" The friend wanted to say yes but sighed and answered truthfully.

Many people in Orario care about Sirius's achievements, but a group of girls now surrounds the person in question.

And many of them are super beautiful. And they're sticking close to him!

Envy filled male customers' hearts, and they wanted to replace him if possible.

"You're a big star all of a sudden, Sirius. Quite fitting of your surname, hehe…." Rethusa was sitting at the same table, and she teased the blond boy.

"Where… it's just a period of heat, and it will soon subside. People are just following the trend." Sirius gave a weak chuckle and didn't care about the opinions of irrelevant strangers.

There may be some people who admire him, but more of them are just a bunch of jealous guys hoping to replace him.

Therefore, they're not worth mentioning.

"Sirius… Isn't he from the Loki Familia? How could he get involved with the goddess Artemis? And it looks like the relationship between them is quite good. Ryuu, what do you think?"

Still in her waitress uniform, Syr took time out of her busy schedule and looked at the absent-minded Ryuu next to her, looking at a certain blond boy.

"How Sirius-san is related to other goddesses has nothing to do with me. Syr, don't mention this to me…." Ryuu looked away rather unnaturally.

The elf waitress felt Syr was taking this opportunity to make fun of herself. But, she felt shy and embarrassed after hearing her words.

"Ehhh…but Ryuu you have been looking at him for quite some time, right?" Syr felt amused looking at her friend's expression.

"Syr, I'll ignore you if you keep teasing me! I have nothing to do with Sirius-san." Ryuu couldn't stand the embarrassment, so she warned her grey-haired friend.

"..." Syr looked speechless, looking at Ryuu.

'Ryuu, you look like a little girl in love. How can I believe you like this?' Syr sighed and didn't know what to do.

In the past, Ryuu always had a calm expression and treated others with cold eyes.

However, after following Sirius to the dungeon, her attitude toward him became a little different.

Although she looks normal as her previous self, she treats Sirius differently than the other adventurers.

Especially now, even though she said she didn't care about him, Ryuu's eyes followed his every movement. Syr knew that Ryuu was beginning to fall in love.

At the same time, Sirius also noticed Ryuu's gaze. So, he raised his hands and greeted her by waving his hands.

"You know her?" After seeing this, Artemis asked softly.

Sirius nodded, "Yeah. In fact, I come to this tavern quite often."

"Eh~ Don't tell me that you're here to hook up with the waitress?" The half-elf Lante interrupted him suspiciously.

'Ah…this little girl has been naughty recently…' Sirius looked at Lante with a helpless expression.

"Heh, little girl, what do you know? I come here because the food here is quite delicious." With a chuckle, Sirius flawlessly answered the question.

In the past, he may be guilty of hiding some truth, but he's now used to it.

Therefore, Lante's suspicion was not worth mentioning.

"Mhmm…" Lante could only say so.

Hostess of Fertility is famous for its delicious food. Basically, every adventurer in Orario had heard of this place. Therefore, Lante couldn't find any way to refute his words.

After all, she's just a naive girl, and it's too early for her to play word games with him.

Sirius shook his head inwardly and calmly moved closer to Artemis.

"Artemis-sam, how long are you going to stay this time?" Sirius asked with some expectation.

"If nothing happens, we should be leaving tomorrow afternoon…." It was not Artemis who answered him but Rethusa.

As the captain of Artemis Familia, how could Rethusa not understand the mind of her deity?

According to past experience, they would rest for tonight, relax tomorrow morning, and then leave in the afternoon.

Although as a Familia, they also have a base in the city as their headquarters. But they can also be said to be homeless.

To cut off the bane of the monsters outside of Orario, Artemis Familia often wanders out of the city.

At least, that's the current situation of Artemis Familia.

However, upon hearing Rethusa's words, Artemis couldn't help but twitch her cheeks.

The blue-haired goddess was hesitating whether to stay for a day or two, but now after Rethusa said so, she had no choice but to leave soon.

Artemis felt annoyed and regretful.

"Um…Artemis-sama?" Rethusa quickly found something wrong with Artemis's expression. She wondered if she had said something wrong before.

'Why do I feel that Artemis-sama is so tangled?' Rethusa thought in confusion.

"Do you want to leave tomorrow!? Will it be too urgent? Artemis-sama, it took your familia nearly a month to complete a commission. I think you need a little more rest. After all, everyone looks so tired…." Sirius tried his best to give advice.

He naturally hopes that Artemis can stay for a few more days.

After all, he has already figured out why the two have such a strange attraction.

Therefore, he wanted to take this chance to deepen the relationship between them. He didn't want his first love in this world to end up in regret.

To be honest, Sirius felt their current affair was a bit like a long-distance relationship. It isn't easy to deepen the relationship while Artemis is often away.

"Uh…" After hearing this, Artemis couldn't help but hesitate.

Rethusa blinked after seeing this. Then, she understood the situation.

So, miss captain raised her head just in time to meet Sirius's gaze. The two exchanged glances and planned their subsequent actions.
